My absolutely favorite Blaxploitation film that really needs a proper Blu release. It's basically Get Carter set in the ghetto & it's FANTASTIC

Yet another unsung Canadian LEGEND Dutch Mason

Which naturally moves me into a Bob James vibe

Here's a taste of Davie Allen's style

I see the Judgement Night soundtrack has got a few nods & while I think its great it just reminded me of a current collaboration between somewhat opposites, a LEGEND that should be mentioned in the same breath as Dick Dale.....Davie Allan & a metal head Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust. It's more of a EP but man is it fantastic. Davie Allan has scored some of the best bikersploitation films...man this stuff is awesome

Yes it was a great day some real nice fish got pulled to pass on their genetics, awesome to meet you Mike!

You are probably right about the size, I don't think there was a picture of the Walleye just the Laker. I wish I took a picture of the smelt (actually Bain caught 2 of them) may have been bigger than 7" things were the biggest I've even seen. These ones had a very dark brownish back and a "rainbow" side, quite a striking fish actually, may have been spawning colours??. The mouth is filled with big teeth for its size, if they grew to be huge I wouldn't swim in any water they were found in. A picture I swipped from the net, that was about the same size

You can tell just how awesome it was in the first photo, congrats on the new PB man!

Incredible photos man, pretty good season I'd say

"We are Freemen of the Land and don't abide by seasons and limits and such......" Chris Brock You could just tell that the weekend would be something special, perhaps a tale to tell grand kids. A tale that is 25+ years in the making & would involve a old map, elder folk, myths & legends & BEER (some whisky too). It goes a little something like this, there is a lake in the Haliburton area that was netted by the MNR in the distant past that proved Giant Grey's & Monster Walleye lurk its waters. A old mountain man knew this lake & would fish it often. 25+ years ago there was a young Chris Brock making a name for himself in the fishing community around those parts. His name would reach the ears of the old mountain man & he would think to himself "I will one day fish with this young fella". Sadly that would never happen, however he left Chris a very special map with his dyeing breath & it would take some 25 years to find Chris (or so I'm told). So Saturday finally rolls around & I blast my way to Chris's retreat where I was met in his driveway by a buddy of his named Eddie, Chris was out pulling his hut off of Gull. Once in Chris would say he has something special planned but that would have to wait, we would need to hit one spot in order to prime ourselves for what's to come. This could be the last weekend where there is safe ice so the rule book gets tossed. Nothing is going to stand in our way. We head out to this lake Chris knows to get primed. On the lake we start marking fish pretty much since the get go but they weren't very active. It was said "who's ever last to catch a fish does dishes" I was on the board a few minutes later with a small Laker. Chris would follow a short time after. With dish duties sorted out we proceeded to put a hurt'n on the Grey beauties. Eddie wouldn't find a fish all night for some reason..... Would would leave the ice after dark & head back to Chris's place for a awesome dinner. Slow cooked pork roast with potatoes & some weird orange things that I gave a wide berth too. We would be joined by Bain around 10pm, this is when the myth & legend story about the lake came out. We could hardly wait till morning, not getting a lot of sleep but sadly Eddie couldn't join us for this trip. Time change happened so we slept in a bit but were soon on our way to parts unknown. Upon arriving we noticed that the area has been built up abit, meaning cottages dotted the landscape. Private Property signs everywhere with the exception of one tiny area, that was our way in....hell even if it was private it wasn't going to stop us. We head out on this lake looking for a good starting point. Bain finds one for himself while Chris & I head across the lake to a point. Holes drilled 75' & 45' not 15 feet from each other, very sharp drop off. There would be a lot of holes drilled & the only thing our sonar's would pick up is baitfish....tons & TONS of baitfish. Good thing for fish to get big, not so good for us fishing. Bain would use the smallest jig he owns & would hook just what the baitfish are, Rainbow Smelt!!! Frigging big smelt, must have been a good 7-8". A couple of locals came out to fish in front of their cottage so Chris goes over & starts up a conversation. The legends are quite true, there are some big fish swimming around as he had a picture from a week prior where he landed a 12lbs Grey, his son landed a 14lbs Walleye but that doesn't happen every day. With so much food swimming around you need a wee bit of luck. Not feeling all that lucky we start to cover more area in hopes of at least seeing something on our sonar's, Bain manages to pop a couple of Rock Bass & Chris lands a couple of small Walleye. A great day for sure & a hell of a great weekend.

Have you phoned Hilltop auto yet? If not give them a shout, they may not have one off a car but they carry a line of new mirrors, might have one. Sorry been out of the auto repair biz for awhile trying to remember names....... Cookstown auto as well. The body guy I know passed away

Awesome stuff man

Haven't seen a salmon make it that far but the odd steelie does, very, VERY skinny water for some stretch before the damn. There are decent browns to be found in the "lake" but it will take considerable skill (luck) to pluck one, they have a buffet to eat. Mainly catch 6-8" bows, the odd Brookie & Brown & Chubs. Tons of private property that is well marked but it is a beautiful river to walk

It was incredibly awesome that you won man, beautiful fish but even more so that you donated your winings to that family, cut above you are sir! Brown is a great guy & it was cool to meet your brother again. I had a fantastic day going 6/7

Awesome report man

Awesome catch man. We were out there & put a beating on them as well. Don't fish the lady too often but today was a great day

I didn't get any of your 4lbs Laker & 14lbs Walleye......

Never a doubt you'd help out a fellow fisherman but good on you anyways man

The weather this past Sunday was perfect for a get away with some friends in hopes of landing a few Lakers. Bain & I make great time getting to Chris Brock's place, pick him up & head over for some breakfast @ Timmies. Hit the bait shop & then off to parts unknown, we were to meet up with Julian (sorry man don't know your OFC name) along the way.He was slightly delayed so we'd move ahead & he'd catch up later. Once on this lake it became clear that not many folks fish it, at least nowhere near the numbers other lakes in the area receive. There was a good 1.5-2``of water on top & about 8-10`of ice, mixture of white & clear. Julian catches up to us at our first holes & we move around to our next spot. Not a few minutes pass & Julian was on the board Didn't know it at the time but this would be the biggest Laker of the day, nice fish. Anyway about 15min pass & Bain has one on the line, smaller but still puts him on the board. His little guy was messed up, wrapped up in fishing line, a tear in his belly, he went back in better shape than he came up in. Now it's at this time that the tittle of this post gets it's name, Bain was feeling a little hungry so he pulls out a BANANA, I spot it & ask WTH is he doing bringing those blasted things on a fishing trip. Brock pipes in, Julian give him the thousand yard stare & it was also at this time the fish disappeared. The next 6+ hours we would put up with extremely light bites & lost fish. We dotted the landscape with holes.....BAIN!!!! Chris yells in his best Captain Kirk voice Only after 6+ hours did I have any kind of luck, one laker took a good 2 minutes lightly playing with my bait before I set the hook home Followed by a slightly bigger one a few minutes later, was really full of minnows not sure how'd he pack another one in Chris would be cursing Bain's name all the way home. All in all though we had a amazing day among freinds & chalk up another OFC member that is a real pleasure to be around, Julian is a great guy.

I fish there quite often, hit the other side of the mouth & you'll have zero problems. The owner was nice once upon a time as he would let you chase fish across his property but guess too many folks have treated his property as a dump thus him being prickish.

Nice!!!! Bet the snowmobile made things easier this time

Probably my fav hardcore band of all time!!!!!!!!
